Seminar 05 -- ASHRAE's New Residential Indoor Air Quality Guide: Best Practices for Construction and O&M

Achieving good IAQ throughout the lifespan of a home requires a commitment to indoor air quality when buying, renting, and designing and maintaining that focus throughout construction, operation and maintenance. Residential buildings are built differently than commercial and institutional buildings. The Guide addresses single- and multifamily dwellings. It includes best practices to achieve excellent IAQ and information and tools that residents, home designers and builders can use to integrate IAQ into dwellings. Attendees learn about the breadth and depth of this Guide, some examples of easy steps to improve Residential IAQ and selected misconceptions.
